has just delivered their votes which means that all nations have now voted and we have no disqualifications this year The voting window will officially end tomorrow (Friday) at midnight GMT after which I will post details about the voting order draw. It’s likely going to be a random draw from a random generator site to save time in this busy period. I will schedule the draw and post a ticket so users can view the result after the scheduled time. More to come on that on Saturday. Thanks again to all participants

I have scheduled the voting order draw for later today. I will be using a random generator to auto-generate the results. If anyone is interested, I have posted a ticket of the scheduled draw. There is no result available yet but will appear once the draw has passed the scheduled time. https://www.randomresult.com/ticket.php?t=4047191GXV9CAS4M2

You might notice that there's only 33 quotas assigned in the women's 1500m. That's because after the initial assignment of quotas, there were 115 quotas which is 3 over the limit. According to the qualification system, the 1500m distances are the last events to assign quotas since they have a max quota of 36 instead of 32. For the men's event, France, Hungary, and Ukraine have the last spots and removing them wouldn't affect the quota totals. Therefore unfortunately, I had to remove one quota from Croatia, Hong Kong and Poland to get the total to 112. We'll see what the NOC does about all this. If anyone actually knows the correct procedures, please comment below. Changes in Quotas from the last update: Men's 500m: No changes Men's 1000m: In: Hong Kong 1 Out: Ukraine 1 Men's 1500m: In: Poland 2 Out: Great Britain 3 Men's 5000m Relay: In: Hungary Out: United States Women's 500m: In: Korea 3 Out: France 2 Women's 1000m: In: Neutral Athletes 1, China 3 Out: Poland 3, Great Britain 1 Women's 1500m: In: Kazakhstan 2, Belgium 2 Out: Great Britain 1, Latvia 1, Slovakia 1, Ukraine 1, Hong Kong 1 Full SOQC's Below: Men's 500m Men's 1000m Men's 1500m Men's 5000m Relay Women's 500m Women's 1000m Women's 1500m Women's 3000m Relay Mixed 2000m Relay *Only for teams with at least 2 men + 2 women

Merry Christmas to all of you who are celebrating the holidays here on Totallympics! Hope it is a good one

Mery Christmas (and Happy Holidays if you do not celebrate it) to you and your beloved ones 🎄

We are waiting on just and to vote now. @Glen @Illya Glen has been in touch to say he needs another 24 hours to get his votes in which is fine! I am hoping to receive all votes by this Friday at the latest as I need to start my preparations for the voting templates.

Some changes that I've noticed: 3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas. Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas. Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality. Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium. Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16. Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas. Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia. Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts. Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier. Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return of World Cup qualifiers. Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed. Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024

In many cultures, Christmas season only officially starts when the Totallympics decorations go up.

My first bulbes destroying in one move of the year done. needed only 4 attempts

A lot of the systems are now public! https://www.olympics.com/ioc/documents/olympic-games/los-angeles-2028-olympic-games @Sindo

Yes I will certainly be extending the deadline into next week. The Grand Final won’t be happening this side of New Year so there is room to extend the voting deadline. Expect an update on Friday but for sure if you need more time to listen then you have my blessing that the deadline will be extended

Merry Christmas to all! I hope you enjoy this day very much.

Two pages of bitching about biathlon and Giacomel will get a win

First career win for Naomi Urness! 3rd medal of the season already.

Unexpected boost for Team . They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests. American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics. The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play". Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport

Career best finish for Podulsky/Allan in women’s doubles at the Winterberg WC with a 5th!

US Media saying they got the hardest group out of the hosts lol

I am happy to announce a significant extension to the voting deadline. Jury members now have until 21:00 GMT, Friday, December 12th to submit their votes. This adds a full week to the existing deadline so will hopefully ensure anyone struggling with time to get some much needed extra space to listen to the songs and submit their votes Since the Grand Final won't take place until after the New Year, we have some room to move the deadline to make it easier for everyone to get their votes in

Merry Christmas to all those who are celebrating and Happy Holidays to those who are not!

Ugh, saying bye to your partner on some inhumanely early time on Christmas morning, meh. But oh well, races have to be done and one prerequisite in order to do cross-country skiing races is, you know, snow, so not much of a choice Hoping to have a "I arrived safely" message right around the time my parents and I start our Christmas dinner, that would ease everyone's mind Merry Christmas to everyone and as always, enjoy the undoubtedly exaggerated amounts of food and stuff

Oops forgot her name. Anyone ranked in the top 8 WC Standings has qualified.

Festival of Music For this year’s Festival of Music I thought I would change it up a bit. Since we are approaching the festive holiday season, I want you all to post some festive songs from your country. If you don’t celebrate Christmas then perhaps some other song that has a special place in your heart during an important celebration. I’m going to start with a Christmas song from Ireland’s TISC Annual 2023 representatives Picture This. Picture This - This Christmas

Another gold for Reece Howden! 4th place also for Jared Schmidt.

Blondin wins bronze in the mass start. Maltais 5th. Dubreuil DNF in the men's 500

Gold in the women's team pursuit!

Kaylie Buck into the final in the PGS! Guaranteed a medal.

The Short Track Olympic team will be announced on Wednesday the 17th.

Bronze medal for Julien Viel in moguls

There is hope for our men's team pursuit then still haha!

But on a positive note. Let’s focus on the good today because when you do it multiplies. Ivanie set a crazy time winning bronze in the women’s 1500m, Val Grenier won GS bronze, Marion Thenault won silver in the opening aerials, Brendan McKay won gold in halfpipe against a stacked field, and Naomi Urness is a young bright star in freestyle skiing winning another medal. So if the universe took away a skimo qualification for an alpine skiing medal and another great freestyle skier for Canada I’ll take it. Canada always excels in an Olympic year. I see us having our best Winter Olympics ever in terms of total medals won (30+) and I still see Piper and Paul on that Olympic podium in the ice dance despite the scandalous judging. These Olympics are where we will outshine the Americans haha

Laurent Dubreuil is on the start list for the men's 500m tomorrow! I was wondering if he was going to switch gears and focus on just one event since he is getting older. And having Stolz a virtual lock on the 1000m already.

Silver for Marion Thenault in women’s aerials at the Ruka WC!

Brendan MacKay wins stop two of the Snow League in halfpipe, with the title in Secret Garden

Bronze for Naomi Urness in women's big air!

Aurelie Moisan and Arnaud Gaudet move onto the finals in the Parallel Giant Slalom. Aurelie had the fourth fastest first run!

57.01 PB for McIntosh in the women's 100m butterfly!

6th for Lemarch in the 1000m, only .67 off the podium. Definitely in the conversation for an outside shot for a medal at the Olympics.

I think I can live with the draw , not a bad group at all. just a week ago our mafia coach said his dream group is Belgium, Egypt and Haiti, he almost got that ! but it's really hard for me (and so many others) to cheer for this team, A mafia boss coach, disgusting group of players. I never had this feeling about any NT in any sport before but still the national team is the national team. you have to like it coaches and players come and go, the team is what matters. if the team makes it to the competition, I'm sure there will be lots of Iranians in the stadium despite the orange's ban, that will never be a problem.

Now to have a musical act perform for each country in Pot 1....

Where’s Will Smith when you want him?

Just a reminder, on December 6 at 11:00am PST is the mixed relay at the Skimo WC in Solitude, we need to finish ahead of US to make our Olympic debut in the sport.

Courtney Sarault wins the women’s 1000m at the Dordrecht WC!

Another gold for Dandjinou in the 1500m! Roussel also takes silver for his first individual medal of the season.

Dylan Deschamps also wins silver in men’s big air.

it's ready! the new Speedskating track in Rho/Fiera (Milan) will be the stage for the 1st Junior World cup meet of the season on Saturday (10 a.m. start with 1000m, 3000m & team pursuit for juniors and neo-seniors, men and women) & Sunday (9.30 a.m. start with 500m, 1500m & mass start races, always for juniors and neo-seniors, men and women) ladies and gentlemen, the track!
